The Sensational Sam Hickman returns to Brighton with her new comedy harp show, First Woman, blending stand-up, original music, and theatrical storytelling.
Sam Hickman is returning to Brighton with her latest show, First Woman, which is scheduled for 21 May 2026 at the Komedia Studio. As a follow-up to her previous work, Sexy Rude Harp Concert, this performance continues her approach of combining stand-up comedy, original music, and theatrical storytelling. The show lasts for approximately 60 minutes and focuses on themes including motherhood, medical transition, and personal history. It is a production that relies on the contrast between her soprano voice and harp playing, set against a backdrop of raw, observational humour. Hickman also incorporates her own costume designs into the performance, which adds a specific visual element to the show.
